Should Mika Brzezinski Have Moderated a White House Forum?

On “Reliable Sources,” Howie Kurtz brought up the Women’s Economic Forum at the White House last week and Mika Brzezinski’s part in it as moderator. As we reported Friday night, Pres. Obama publicly thanked Brzezinski for her role in the event. But the issue is, should she, as an MSNBC show host, have participated? Kurtz’s panelists were split on it, while Kurtz thought, Brzezinski “is entitled to have opinions, on an opinion show, But I think the optics of moderating at the white house are not ideal.”
